Thanks. I'm afraid it's a Morrison's and it's been there about 10-15 years,
I think. I guess it's important to find out what they're obliged to have
before writing to the manager, so I'll do so.



Morrison's in Dereham in Norfolk has *excellent* cycling provision - loads of
stands under the eaves of one side of the building, all securely concreted into
the ground. Unlike Tesco in Dereham which has a piddling couple of triple
stands which are *not* secured to the ground and where a letter to the manager
asking for them to be secured to the ground has been ignored. I shall do a
follow-up letter post Christmas and if that is also ignored, I shall be
permanently taking my custom elsewhere.



This would appear to be standard Tesco policy, Quite often the three
slice toast rack is positioned so that only two cycles can use it, instead
of the six it is designed for. They certainly can't fit a tandem and
trailer in them.
We also tried complaining to Tesco (copied to their insurers) about the
grannite cobbles they use on the approach road into the car park, as the
spaving is such that it will easily trap a 23mm tyre. It was sent as an
official letter from the Suffolk CTC, stating that if any of our members
had an accident due to these cobbles, then they had been forwarned, and
their insurance would probably be invalid. So far we have not had need
to claim against them.
